Anxin's hands clenched all at once, his teeth clenched, his face nervous, and his eyes showed horror. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

Li Youcai!

It's Li Youcai's voice!

How so?

It's been a month, how can Li Youcai still be in the town?

Probably seeing An Xin standing stiffly in the middle of the road, a kind old lady pulled the corner of her clothes and said, "Child, hurry up to the side." ”

Anxin glanced at the old man gratefully, and retreated to the wall of the town gate with the others, she shrunk as much as she could, hiding her figure behind everyone.

The shouting was renewed, and at the same time there were many small complaints from the vendors.

"We came to collect protection money three times a day, and we didn't let people live, we set up a stall for a day, and we couldn't sell it for ten yuan, but we had to be taken by this group of vampires, and we had to post it upside down. ”

"Shhh ”

"Alas, these days are becoming more and more unbearable, I have thought about it, and when the goods in my hand are sold, I will go to the big city to work, I heard that there is gold everywhere outside, and I can make a lot of money. ”

Everyone complained and complained, but they didn't dare not pay in the end, some people took out the money on their bodies painfully, and some even grabbed a large handful of sweat-stained gross tickets, and watched Li Youcai snatch the money and put it in his pocket with distress.

There are about two rows of small vendors at the entrance of this town, most of them sell their own products, and only a few of them come in to sell.

Anxin hid behind the crowd, and heard Li Youcai shouting loudly, saying that it was the latest regulation of the Black Snake Gang, and now the protection fee is collected, and a new item has been added, that is, when the hawker's goods are large and expensive, then they have to be paid according to the actual value, and if it is small, it will be paid according to the quantity.

As soon as this sentence came out, everyone was shocked, and the voice of complaining became louder, and some people even wanted to do it.

Li Youcai and a few young people around him who were angry immediately took out the switchblade in their trouser pockets, waved it at those vendors, and said: "I don't want to do it, I dare to provoke the Black Snake Gang, and if I don't honestly pay for it, let you go in with white knives and out with red knives, I can tell you, our boss has a big backer in the town, even if he kills you, it's a piece of cake, and no one will take care of it at all." ”

Forced by the power of the switchblade, the hawkers who originally wanted to resist took a step back in fear, and could only obediently and resigned themselves to their fate to take out the money and pay the protection fee.

Li Youcai laughed, his eyes were full of contempt, and he walked away with his brothers proudly.

An Xin waited for them to leave, and then deliberately lowered his voice and asked the old lady just now, who are those people?

When the old lady saw her dressed like this, the straw sandals on her feet were worn and tattered, and her toes were exposed, and she only thought that she was from a remote village, and then saw that she was still holding the child in her arms, so she sympathetically told her about the situation, and told her to be careful, but not to provoke these evil stars.

"Thank you old man, our village lives far away, five or six days away from this town, we usually pick some herbs in the mountains, and we have saved so much slowly, so I specially asked me to go to the town to exchange some salt for use. Do the old people know where to harvest the dried herbs?"

Li Anxin used to directly pay the concocted herbs to outsiders for sale.

The old lady was also a kind person, and immediately showed her the way, and told her where to go to the Chinese pharmacy quickly. With peace of mind, he glanced at the old lady a few times, and whispered, "Has the old man been a little constipated recently?"

Seeing that the old lady didn't quite understand the meaning of constipation, she changed her native style of speech, and the old lady immediately nodded, and at the same time looked at her with surprise in her eyes: "Child, do you still see a doctor?"

"I just know a little bit about the skin. There are a pair of herbs here, all of which I picked and dried by hand, and went back to take three bowls of water and fried them into one bowl, three times a day, and after drinking them for three days, it should be fine. ”

The old lady was overjoyed, and immediately asked her how much a pair was, and she hurriedly waved her hand and said that she didn't want money, which was to thank her for her help just now.

If it wasn't for the old lady pulling her just now, she stood abruptly in the middle of the road, which would probably make Li Youcai find out.

The old lady took the reassuring medicine for free, and she felt a little unsure, and she always felt that she owed her something, so she patted the back of her hand and said: "That's it, good boy, you can wait for me for a while, I still have some things to sell out, and when I'm done, I'll take you to the medicine hall, there is an acquaintance in our village who works there, maybe I can give you a good price." ”

"That's so thankful, auntie. Anxin sincerely thanked him, and when he found out that the eldest lady was selling fried flatbread, he immediately said loudly: "Auntie, you can sell these cakes to me, I also want to eat on the way back anyway, but I don't have any money in my hand now, can I wait until I finish selling the medicinal herbs and then pay you for the cake?"

"Okay, that's fine, you don't have to wait. The old lady agreed when she heard this, and even with the help of Anxin, she packed up the baskets and walked to the only medicine hall in the town with Anxin.

On the way, Anxin knew that the eldest mother's surname was Yu, and her family lived in Yujiatun at the back of the town, and she had to come to the gate of the town to sell flatbread almost every day.

"Aunt Yu, we seem to have passed by the vegetable market just now, and there seem to be vendors in it, why don't you sell cakes there, there are so many people here, business should be good." ”

"Where is it so easy, the stalls in this vegetable market not only have to charge protection fees, but also have to charge stall fees, a large piece of land, it costs five yuan a day. There is no booth fee at the entrance of the town, although there are fewer people, but the old woman and I have less cakes, and basically they can be sold out in one day. Remove the cost, and you can also earn some snacks for your grandchildren. ”

Anxin nodded, it turned out to be like this, but I didn't expect that in this small town, the stall fee in the vegetable market actually cost five yuan a day, she originally wanted to pick some game from the mountains to set up a stall here, but she instantly threw away this idea.

Aunt Yu walked with peace of mind to pick some strange places, passed through the backyard of a hotel for a while, and entered the black alley for a while, but it was very close, but it took about ten minutes to arrive at the medicine hall, and there were a few mottled words on the wall that had been peeled off: Lin's Pharmacy.

Aunt Yu went in familiarly, greeted the guys in the medicine hall, pulled over Anxin, and explained her intentions.

The young man saw that it was the person introduced by Aunt Yu, and his original nostrils were a little better to look at people, but he was still very arrogant, so he could take out the things and take a look.

Anxin deliberately mixed the medicine from ten years ago with the newly concocted medicine, which also meant that he wanted to test the level of this guy.

I saw that the guy frowned, and in front of Aunt Yu and her, he quickly picked it up, and in less than half an hour, he picked out all the medicinal materials from ten years ago, and the rest of the pile was actually freshly concocted medicinal materials.

The young man made a noise with the abacus beads, and pointed to the pile on the left and said: "These have been for a few years, and the protective measures have not been done well, and the medicinal properties are almost lost, although there are more than 20 catties, but it is not worth anything, if you are willing to sell, I will add some more to you, for the sake of the eldest mother, make up a whole number, give you thirty yuan, if you don't want to, forget it." In addition, this pile looks fresh, and the concoction is also good, I weighed it, exactly 100 catties, and gave you 80 yuan, what do you think?"
